Mon, 26 Nov 2012 08:03:48 +0000http://www.blacksmithinstitute.org/blog/?p=421#comment-66067The fateful day, they where running a water pump thest to check that if an attack occurred they would have enough cooling water to keep the reactor from melting down. Unfortunately, there where major floors in the design of this reactor, several minutes later, a warm spot appeared down the button of the reactor. This led to major steam pressure in the reactor. The control rods where in the up position and when they wanted to cool the reactor down the granite tips exploded and surged power this is enough to break control rods and fracture the fuel rods, a larger explosion followed. The “liquidators” where generally Soviet Union army members ore brave firefighters. Out of 350,000 liquidators 4 survived over the corse of 20 years. The smouldering core needed putting out before it burnt into a pit of water wich would make a giant geothermal explosion. Two brave Soviet Union army men volunteered for the job to jump into highly contaminated water, open the flood valve and then never come up. The fight was on between man and nucleus as medical attention was attended to in Moscow. The liquidators where making a roof over reactor no 4. The government gave them a medal and several rights. These weren’t enough for the pain and suffering that followed.

Never Forget.

Tue, 13 Nov 2012 23:38:59 +0000http://www.blacksmithinstitute.org/blog/?p=421#comment-63888I lived in Kiev at the time of the disaster. My grandmothers bag set off a Geiger counter in Moscow where we were finally able to evacuate a week later. The bag was taken from her as a bio hazard. It was a suitcase she had left out on a balcony through that entire week. My mother was forced to stay behind in Kiev and finish out the school year as a teacher, if she did not she would have been shot as a panic starter and a traitor to the soviet union.

Wed, 07 Nov 2012 10:28:33 +0000http://www.blacksmithinstitute.org/blog/?p=421#comment-62853What a sad, sad, sorry incident Chernobyl was. The sadder thing about it is that the same kind of incident continue to happen elsewhere seeing what happened in Japan. True, there is a good reason for putting up nuclear plants but considering the pros versus the cons, what good does it really do?

Thu, 04 Oct 2012 04:26:23 +0000http://www.blacksmithinstitute.org/blog/?p=925#comment-56933I was most encouraged by your article and I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiments you express. Having had some involvement in the industry in dealing with the issues of smelter emissions and the effects of smelter pollution I can vouch for the effectiveness of the collaborative approach. It works; and ultimately everyone wins, most importantly the local residents who are directly affected. That must be the focus: not who is to blame and who is responsible for what, but how can we collectively and cooperatively work together to fix the problem. ‘We’ must include the local community as an equal partner if the process is to be successful; trust and respect must be earned.

Tue, 02 Oct 2012 19:38:45 +0000http://www.blacksmithinstitute.org/blog/?p=1217#comment-56832It’s really a good approach to solve the problem of toxic pollution instead of looking to richer countries, the less affluent ones should coordinate and collaborate with each other to solve their pollution problems. But one thing should be remembers that air and marine pollution know no border and the pollution by rich countries may negative impact the environment of poorer nations. Therefore, this forum should adopt the global formula with little modification as “global polluter pay principle.
